Re: The Bad Mood Thread

Taylor offered to get me In N Out on the way home from work. I declined (I had just eaten). That being said, I really don't think having a meltdown over your kid not getting you something for a blown-out holiday is a reasonable reaction.

Re: The Bad Mood Thread

lol actually no my kids mom just looks like she's been in prison. In my case, Connor was 5 years old when I met his mom and his biological dad hadn't seen him since he was 18 months old. His bio dad had already left the state and was in and out of prison in another state. Me and his mom broke up when he was about 10 years old so the only dad he ever had was me so despite our breaking up I stayed in his life ever since. About 2 or 3 years ago his mom got married to another guy who is considered the step-dad. I see Connor about once a week, I go to his flag football games, some doctors appointments, some teachers meetings etc. So i'm a fairly active part time dad.

My mom would always complain about us (me and my 2 brothers) spending money on her.... unless it's something super expensive that she wanted. The only times I remember her getting excited and said Thank You for gifts was when we bought her a Louis Vuitton purse with matching wallet and the cruise we got her and our dad for her 50th birthday.

That is awesome!

My daughter and I had pedicure day on Saturday, then she came over early Sunday and helped me prepare food for our family dinner we had at my sisters. She made the bacon wrapped jalepeno poppers which were amazingly delicious, more so than normal because I wasn't the one who had to have the burning fingers.

Connor will be 14 next month and graduates Jr. High this Thursday.

Salute, good sir.

I'm glad she's not a Gucci person.
The only thing she's been bugging me about lately that she wants is grand children.
I was tempted to tell her that I was pregnant when I called her yesterday.
But that would've been a cruel joke.

that's what we did. went and stayed at a hotel for the weekend. nice resort right up the street, pools and waterslides for the kids. we just all hung out without having to worry about dishes, laundry, making beds, etc.

and i decided to drink saturday, my wife was so happy because i never drink and she likes drunk steve, guess i am a lot of fun when i let loose. spent most of sunday hungover, but she didn't mind, haha. then we checked out and i got the bill for the weekend. once you have a couple of drinks at a resort you just don't give a shit how expensive they are i guess. ouch.

I forgot to tell my daughter to soak the skewers in water first though, so they kept catching on fire (oops), we ended up just throwing them in the oven instead and that worked great too.

It is just one of those things I always forget.

You would think the cracked fingers and $40 medicated hand cream would be clue enough to remember to buy some fucking gloves.

A couple years ago, when my dad was a little drunk, he was telling me that I should have kids soon because I was getting old.
